GDT: Vegas @ Sharks 7:30PM

[Used As A Shield]

Sheng Peng from FtF had a great quote from Pete on this. More or less, ask Brent Burns and Joe Thornton how important Haley is

I mean, if they are asked, would Burns or Thornton ever bad mouth Haley? No, so what does asking them even do?

Even asking a division rival players and they would all have nice things to say about haley.

People say nice things about tom wilson and he has tried to kill like 10 players in the past 2 years.

Shark's 7th game in 12 days. They haven't had more than one day off since before the Canadian's game on 3/7. That said VGK are on the back side of back to backs and 3 games in 4 days. So I expect the fatigue level of both teams to be fairly similar. VGK won their last two games, Sharks lost theirs. IMO Sharks lose again to make it 3 in a row before turning it around to finish the season 7-2 over the final 9 games.

[Timo Time]

So the last game of the playoffs? He is going to run him into the ground for something stupid. He gets worse and worse every day.

"San Jose, this is the opening round of the playoffs! And starting in goal for your San Jose Sharks... the corpse of Martiiiiiiiiiiin JONES!"

"How would you like a nice tall glass of defeat?"

(or a tiny taster of it, technically)

 

[SnarkAttack]

VGK 4 - Tuch 2, Karlsson, Schmidt
SJS 3 - Hertl, Sorensen, Burns
Haley 12 grits

 

[Negatively Positive]

If the Sharks lose at home to a Vegas team on tail end of back to back starting their 3rd string goalie... time to move Haley to defense.

I miss beer so bad, but at least I can live vicariously through your reported exploits!

Move him to coach. Then he can add his positive personal traits while not being allowed on the ice.

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I don't think folks who post on these boards really have an appreciation for all the dynamics that exist in the NHL and what a player like Haley provides.

Then Pen's Gubrandson trade comes to mind.

I honestly don’t care about the dynamics that exist in the NHL among teammates and I don’t care about what a player like Haley provides when he actively makes the team significantly worse.

The point of hockey is to win and there is nothing which a player can possibly provide that outweighs the degree to which Haley makes the team significantly worse at winning.

Nice appeal to the authority of Jim Rutherford who has single-handedly crippled his team for years to come by acquiring players like Jack Johnson and the aforementioned Gudbranson and trading 1st round picks for players like Ryan Reaves.

He's not out there for pre-game skate.
